The issue is that they recommended me to replace both rears because of the diameter difference between a new tire vs a 2 year old tire. The service guy quoted me $400 plus labour for a 255/35/18 runflat. ######ed price for a runflat and horrible tread life since I only used the tires during the summer months. When you return a leased car the tires have to have a certain depth left so if I don't replace the old tire now I would have to do it before the lease was over.

The service rep says there's nothing stopping you from running over another nail on the way home wink wink...two new tires later I decided never to lease or get car that comes with run flats ever again....also any small pot hole will put a bulge in runflats...terrible tires.

Because there was no spare it gave me huge anxiety while traveling further than Banff.

So did the insurance cover both tires? Otherwise it sounds like you spent $500 to save $400
